Correction: Near Rectilinear Halo Orbit Determination with Simulated DSN Observations

This paper presents the results of both a high-fidelity simulation of spacecraft orbit determination in a near rectilinear halo orbit (NRHO), as well as investigations of various aspects of NRHO operations, including NRHO insertion and long-horizon orbit maintenance. Others in the literature have examined the NRHO navigation problem with linear covariance analysis, but the highly-nonlinear dynamics of this orbit challenge the assumptions underlying such analyses. The present work builds on similar analysis performed by other authors to contribute a fuller understanding of the operational requirements for NRHO navigation. The present work serves as a check to the assumptions of previous studies and an independent verification of those results. Various trades are performed, including: NRHO insertion cleanup, short-horizon and long-horizon orbit maintenance, tracking cadence, tracking pass placement, filter type, measurement noise, and measurement type. Spacecraft state uncertainty estimates are evaluated as a function of time. Simulated range and range-rate measurements with the Deep Space Network (DSN) ground stations are used to model orbit determination accuracy. Orbit maintenance maneuvers are performed using both short-horizon and long-horizon stationkeeping targeting. Monte Carlo analysis of orbit determination and stationkeeping is performed.
